I found it ok for boxing flat joints, but lacks body for use on beads. Material was easily damaged on sanding as really soft. I wouldn't use it again.

Promix lite for me every time. When using through bazooka and boxes then I thin it up slightly. Sands easily no complaints. I do however agree with TonyM - its not too good on externals-easifill's the stuff for that. I have tried the USG blue top and found it had a weird texture and an even weirder smell when sanding.

Whatever floats your boat I suppose, you've got to use the stuff you are happy with.

absolutely fine with flex,corner tapes etc.if you use metal beads then clearly a filler would go on first.it lays on beautifully with no drag.lovely finish.sands like a dream.awesome through boxes or by hand.i believe theres a vinyl additive so it will feel slightly different textured to other gear.minsters cardiff about 13 quid plus vat a tub.but you can get it in bags too.

I have only tried the ready mix and didn't know it came in bags. I might give the bags a try, you never know I might be a convert. btw you don't work for USG do you? :-)
